Cover chicken breast with plastic wrap; pound to 1/4-inch thick.
Sprinkle each filet with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in frying pan over medium-high heat.
Saute fillets 4-6 minutes per side until done and browned just a bit.
Remove from pan and wrap in foil to keep warm while you make the sauce.
In chicken pan add olive oil and sliced mushrooms; saute for about 2 minutes.
Add Madeira wine, beef stock, butter, and pepper.
Bring to boil then reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes until reduced to about 1/2 original volume. When sauce is done it will be thick, and brown.
While sauce is reducing, bring a pan of water to boil.
